Wayanad Heritage Museum
വയനാട് പൈതൃക മ്യൂസിയം
A small museum in Ambalavayal displaying tools and artifacts of Wayanad's tribal peoples, ancient hero stones and excavated relics.
Run by the district tourism department, the museum has several galleries showing the farming tools, hunting gear, musical instruments and clothing of local indigenous groups such as the Paniya and Kuriya, along with hero stones, stone carvings and pottery collected from across the region. A visit takes about an hour and admission is inexpensive. It helps fill in Wayanad's history from prehistoric times to the modern era, and it pairs well on the same day with Edakkal Caves and Phantom Rock, about 5 km away.
